Help set us up

Tucking Fypo

Hello all

I have been reading the forum for ages, and I'm still lost as to what we need to get us started.

We've been using a disposable the last week (myself and other half). It's worked out brilliant and way way better than we had expected. It's expensive though as we have to buy 3 x €6.99 a day.

So, we have €100 to spend tomorrow on 2 systems.

I know extra batteries are important, but after that I'm lost. Can anyone link everything that we need to order and will €100 for 2 people be enough?

Also say if we ordered first thing tomorrow morning, when would we get it? Based in the West of Ireland.

In relation to juices, the tobacco flavour disposable we have is great, what's the closest to the real thing in juices?


Thanks in advance for your help.

If i was you and if you are available i'd hold off until vapefest on saturday. you can see other systems and ask opinions, and you can try the various juices at the juice bar to see which ones you like

http://www.e-smokeireland.eu/product-p/xldcc.htm dual coil cartomiser kit. simple kit, does the job and pretty cheap. get two 900mah batteries so one will last you the day

once you have the batteries, if you decide you dont like the dual coil cartomisers or even if you just want to try something else.. you can just buy it and so long as it has 510 or ego fittings it will fit and work fine on your battery

there's loads of options to choose from including variable voltage or clearomisers or tanks.. but for simplicities sake, this kit has everything you want.
in a few months if you decide you want to try something else.. no harm

and
http://www.e-smokeireland.eu/category-s/1822.htm a mouth piece for the cartomisers


juice wise.
http://www.e-smokeireland.eu/product-p/eltorocn.htm
i love this stuff, it's made with real tobacco leaves so it's a bit more authentic than most juices

you're never gona get one that' tastes like the real thing though and juice tastes are very subjective.
you'll be best off ordering a few 10ml bottles of a few different flavours to see what you like

strength wise.. 18mg is usually a good starting point

if you order tomorrow morning you should have it the day after.. althoughn when I was staying at my parents orders sometimes took 2 days.. if you order before 4pm today you should havee it in tomorrows post.. provided an post don't decide to take it on a tour of the country first.



10% discount code of 'boards' without the ' for that website, free shipping on orders over 65.. so 100 should get you the two kits plus a few different bottles of juice

Would definitely recommend trying to get to vapefest if you can. You'll be able to try everything out there.

If you can't you will need the following:

- Batteries (2 each)
- Chargers
- Top Connections (can be tank, clearomiser, atomiser, cartomiser etc).
- Liquid (try a few different flavours)

I've done up a mock shopping cart on ESI (e-smokeireland.eu) and the total comes to just shy of €96 with the boards discount.

Tucking Fypo

Thanks everyone

Would love to go to Vapefest, but we can't make it this weekend.

That's great there is a discount. Will pop on those links now and have a browse.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

sept09babys shopping cart is pretty good

people have been giving good reviews to those kangers

the only change i'd make is add a 10ml bottle of el toro cigarillos naturales

Only saw that now. I'm confused again lol. Is that basically a made up kit now? Where is the bit you smoke out of

the kanger 2 clearomiser is the bit you smoke out of. the bit in the middle is filled with the juice. the piece to the left is a spare atomiser that fits inside it and the black piece is the mouthpiece that fits on top.

the whole set up screws onto the battery and you press the button and vape away

Yeah I included the Kanger T2 clearomisers as they are a good starting point. You simply unskrew the top and pour in the liquid.

Once you're set up and vaping away, you can start to play around with the millions of options out there!

Excellent.

How long would a bottle of liquid last? Say for a 20+ a day smoker of John Player Blue for example. And is that the only continuos costs for vaping, bar the odd replacement or upgrade?

Depends on the strength of the juice and the size of the bottle really. i used to smoke about 20 marlboro light a day and at the moment a 10 ml bottle would last me about a week. and yes the juice is the only continous cost.

sept09baby

You'll also need to get new clearomisers (or replace the heads in them).

I was a 20-25 a day Superking smoker and now that I'm all set up I spend between €25 and €35 a month on liquid and clearomisers.

That doesnt include upgraded devices etc but it's still a huge difference!

I use about 3mls per day (+/- 1ml) but everyone is different. Some people use a stronger nicotine level and less mls and some use weaker nicotine liquid but more often. You'll settle in to your own niche pretty quickly

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

you wont know how much liquid costs until you actually start vaping and get a feel for how much you vape and how much liquid you use

some people use 8-10ml a day and those clearomisers are pretty thirsty. now you'd have to have it in your mouth every few seconds to use 8-10ml a day imo, but some people do it

i think the average is between 3-5ml a day and that's for moderate-heavyish vapers.


the batteries oughta last you a long while.. after that all youll need is juice and replacement atomiser heads for the kanger clearomiser.
you can also buy another kanger clearomiser so you have two on the go for different flavours but it will mainly be replacement heads (iirc 2 euro a go) and juice

--edit

http://www.e-smokeireland.eu/product-p/t2coils.htm

link for the replacement heads

throw a couple of these into your order as well when you make it.
the atomisers thatcome with the kanger are 2.4 ohms.. on a normal ego battery you might find that's perfect.. you might find it's a bit cool.. as with a lot of things in vaping.. it's down to personal preference.
I'd reccomend you order 1 or 2 of the lower resistance (1.7-1.9 or 2.1-2.2 ohm) atomiser heads as well just so you can compare and contrast.. see which resistance is best for you.
once you know which resistance coil you prefer.. then you can just keep ordering them whenever you need them

Tucking Fypo

That's pretty amazing. I was thinking the one liquid would last a day. We spend the guts of €500 per month on cigarettes. I love smoking, and the disposable one I've had fits every requirement. Can't wait to get my kit.

Tucking Fypo

Going to replicate Sept09's shopping list and add the liquid you recommended Caeser. Ridiculously excited . Would love Vapefest, hopefully next year. Thanks everyone. Will update.

Tucking Fypo

Feck. They only do Paypal on that site. Will have to activate the Visa Debit card before I can order.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

yeah they're working on a new payment system I think.. but there's some reason that they have to wait another month or two to get a finalised version in.. nothing they can do about it from what I remember. it might be something to do with the new visa debit cards becoming the standard.. whats the point in paying for a laser system if they're going to be obsolete in 3 months time.

if you're going to be in dublin you can pay in cash and collect

Setting up those systems are a nightmare. Got that visa debit sent to me last month, so I'll get my skates on and activate it and set up a Paypal.

Tucking Fypo

All ordered . Really hoping it does come tomorrow cause spent ALL my money on the site. 2 disposables left.

Thanks everyone.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

should come tomorrow unless an post decide to **** with you

sept09baby

Should arrive tomorrow. Best of luck with it and let us know how you get on

Tucking Fypo

Shipped already. I will be hounding the postman lol.

Will let you know. Enjoy Vapefest.

Tucking Fypo

It arrived!!!!!! How fast was that, only ordered this time yesterday.

First impressions, amazing. Thanks everyone for your help.

We got a part (dual coil) written on the side, but don't know where it goes?

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

http://www.mtbakervapor.com/product_images/e/657/Dual_coil_cartomizer__39882_zoom.jpg

does it look like this?

you just screw it into the battery where you screw the tank

i think you will be able to use the mouthpiece for the tank with the cartomiser.. just take the white rubber piece out of the top and put the mouthpiece in there

Edit and erase: Way too fast, Digby!

Tucking Fypo

Thanks. Will view that video when I can. Signal is a bit bad. It does fit on to the battery alright.

Tucking Fypo

That was it. . Thanks for recommending e-smokeireland.eu they are great to deal with.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

have you tried the el toro yet? curious to know what a recently ex-smoker would think of it

Tucking Fypo

I really like it. Other half prefers the RY4-A. He was quite sceptical about vaping, but he's thrilled and vaping away now. Throwing out the ash trays as I type lol.

illicit007

I hate ash trays, cigarette butts, lighters, the smell of the things... all those things make me go 'yuck'

When I take a toke of my vapouriser I'm 'oooooh yeeeea'

You're going to have a better smelling cleaner house, healthier bodies, I could go on and on. Congratulations! Love it when another smoker is converted

Tucking Fypo

So many benefits and sacrificing nothing. Wish we had known about them long ago.

Anyone

Ok, have decided to venture into vaping. The cost to the pocket and my health is too much now. Followed Sept09baby's order list, with a few different liquids. Lets see how it goes

DirtyBollox

bought 2 KAnger's yesterday at vapefest and they are great!!!

Highly recommend them and thumbs up to sept09baby for recommending them

You won't regret it. My OH doesn't even miss the fags, which I thought he really would. I had a dream that I nearly smoked a real one last night, but that's the extent on my thoughts.

Let us know how you get on!

Yeah will do, I have a few reservations of course....is it going to be awkward to fill/maintain/recharge etc. And the actual effect, but I'm interested in trying it so will see what happens.

any questions don't hesitate to ask

with the kanger you take the black mouthpiece off, tilt the tank sideways and dribble the liquid into it. depending on use a battery could last you a a few hours (very heavy use) or a whole day.

Very easy to fill and my battery lasts much longer than I expected. Only takes about 1.5 hours to charge the other one too.

DirtyBollox

With the kangar dont go doing what i'm after doing, I left it standing on its end so all the juice drained to the bottom. as the wicks are short and i continued to vape they dried out and i then got a horrible burnt taste off of it. Basically dont let them dry out, intentionally or unintentionally when vaping

sept09baby

Oh no :-( I always leave my devices lying on their sides so never a problem. At least they have changeable heads so you don't have to bin it.

Currently vaping Highbrow Vapour's Strawberry Lemonade in a Kanger T2 and ESI's Vampires Kiss in my Vivi Nova - very happy this morning

DirtyBollox

didnt burn it out thankfully so its not too bad, and i am now leaving everything on its side!!

Ok, seems my order has been delivered. In work right now, but will charge and set it up later. I have a day off work tomorrow which is handy, will spend the day trying this out....expect questions :pac:

Tucking Fypo

All tips welcome. I keep expecting sometime to go wrong as everything is just too good. A big announcement that the government are banning them or something lol.

I ordered Swedish fish for myself yesterday. Can't wait to try it.

Mmmmmm, I am vaping that right now. Its on a ego twist at just over 4v with a kanger and its an amazing. It didnt work well on a vivi nova (no vapour, limited flavour), it did work a little with the mini but the liquid soon went dark and didnt taste great (it was ok) but once it was on kanger..... Yum!

Tucking Fypo

I just smelled it. Woweeeeeeeeee lovely! Just sent OH the link above on how to clean the kanger so I can get topped up.

grindle

Swedish Fish is a bit sensitive to heat alright. Doesn't taste good above 7/8 watts for me (4v with a 2.1-2.6 ohm coil = 6-7.6 watts, so you're hitting it's sweet-spot), and it seems to caramelise over time, or at least it tastes that way.
You'll find that with a lot of the mega-fruity or sweet flavours, Mountain Dew is murder for it as well.

Anyone

Ok charged it up, filled the kanger, and took my first draw! The liquid I am trying first is RY4-A.

Initial thoughts.....its strong...can feel it at the back of my throat(however, I did have a smoke just 10-15 mins before). Its an unusual flavour, kind of caramel/coffee?? But its good so far, lets see if I can use it long term
